Freightliner $68 batteries

I get that, but would you seriously pay a grand a piece for 4 batteries?

 

i like them $5 shirts at walmart. get grease on it. bam throw it away

 

i bet its 4 for a $1,000

 

Nope, but I wouldn’t buy cheap batteries either. I have those batteries in my western star. I was quoted 368.00 each to replace them. Some dealers are high as a kite Mine are over 5 years and still pass a load test. I don’t deep cycle them though. big hotel loads are done on my generator. May change them before winter for piece of mind.

 

I use cheapo 250 dollar Interstates, they get froze about every other year or so anyway so there's not much point buying expensive batteries to me.

 

I hear ya, ever try putting heating blankets on them and plugging in with block heater. I have heating mat under mine it keeps them from freezing. I have them plugged into my APU so they keep batteries warm in winter.

 

Generally happens the first real cold night when it's left outside, then I get smart and park it in the heated shop, after spending an hour or 2 freezing my butt off trying to get it started.

 

This is what I use

 

I guess I am just getting a bit better deal cause my truck only has 3 batteries..
